:lpplicetion filed fieptember 21,1903. 8min No. 174,047.

To aZZ'whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, Roster E. France, a

citizen of the United States, residing at Erie,

in the county of Erie and State of Pennsylvania, have invented new anduseful limrovements in Ca s for Milk-Jars and the Like, of which thetollowing is a specification.

This invention relates to caps for milk-jars and the like; and itconsists in certain im; provements in the construction thereof, as willbe hereinafter fully described, and pointedout in the claims.

The invention is illustrated in the accompan ying drawings as follows:

Figure 1 shows a blank from which the parts of the cap are cut and themanner of cuttingthem. Fig. 2 shows a section on the line 2 2 in Fig. 3.Fig. 3 shows a perspective view of the-cap; Fig. i, a section of thetag,

on the line 4; 4 in Fig. 2.

A marks the cap. It is provided with a slot a. This slot is referabl ofserpentine Extending t ou h t B, avin the shoulder for engaging the ed eof t e slot, so as to prevent its eing ulled through. Thepur ose of thetag is to -tacilitate the removal of t 111 Fig. 4, to conform to theshape of the slot.

By making the slot serpentine-shaped the.

's slot is a tag e cap. The tag is- 1 preferably corrugated by pressing,as shown fore shi ment, it would be desirable to have 0 the tag ay flaton the cap, which would not be as readily grasped as when it extendsupwardly. For econom in manufacture T prefer that the tags be of a sizeand shape to be made from the included space between four contactingcircles, as shown. in Fig. 1. this way the waste in the hlanlr fromwhich the caps are made may he utilized for tags.

What I claim as new is" l. A. circular ca for milk-jars having a slotarranged who ly within the periphery and a removable tag formed cf thesame material as the cap for lifting the cap, said tag being of a widthto fit into the slot and having the tag-shoulder t abutting against theends of the slot.

2. A cap for milk-jars having a serpentineshaped slot, and a tag drawnthrough said sot.

3. A cap for milk jars having a serpentineshaped slot, and a corrugatedtag.

4. A cap for milk-jars having a serpentineshaped slot; and a removahletag havin the shoulder b abutting against the edges 0 the slot.

5. Acircular cap for milk-jars having a serpentine-shaped slot'and aremovable corr ated tag for lifting the cap of a Width to fit into theslot having the shoulder b for abuttinlg the edge of the slot.

testimony whereof I have hereunto set V my hand in the presence of twosubscribing fwitnesses.
